wearing two watches


alterego

Recommended Posts

I was watching a soccer game and noticed the referee was wearing two watches. A digital looking like a G shock and what seemed a Daytona.

I read read somewhere that many people do. If you needed two time pieces on your wrists what would those be ?

Personally I'd have my gen Sub on my left wrist and my rep Breguet Type X on my right. I think those two are the best in the sports watch category.

Hope someone reads this.

Best

There once was a man from Corfu,

Who wore watches, not one but two,

A Pan on his wrist, that looked like a clock,

The other, a Rolex, that he wore on his...

If he asked you to wind it, would you?

LOL

While out hiking or doing coastal research for my job I do somtimes wear a casio pathfinder triple sensor on left wrist for its digital compass and altimeter functions while I have a normal analoug watch on my right wrist so I can look quickly and make note of the time...I also know some divers who wear 2 while diving-although one is a dive computer and the other a dive watch.

A family member in the uk special forces also wears 2-while on ops, one will tell the time and the other will count down the mission time...

I think if its for a specific reason a lot of people wear 2 watches at the same time-not sure about the fasion statement reason though!

I try sometimes to wear a second watch on my right wrist. But I cannot keep it more than two minutes. I don't feel comfortable at all.

to be honest it looks silly on a regular basis. I dive with a digital computer and a mechanical watch as a backup. I can understand a referee needing to wear an official timekeeper for the match in addition to his personal watch but people like Maradona just look like stupid.

Well then the daytona must be just for posing. If you have a gshock on one wrist theres no need for any other watch. The Gshock can do everything that the other watch can do and do it better.

Never worn two watches, but I would wear a 'wrist device', ie MP3 player, GPS unit on my spare wrist if circumstances called for it.

+1 On Maradona (and others wearing two watches on day to day basis) looking stupid though. I mean really, what's the point? If a watch was so unreliable that I needed a back up, I wouldn't wear it in the first place, and would just wear the back up :whistling: As I've said before folks, the right watch for the right situation :good: I wouldn't wear my Suunto Vector clone to a formal dinner, and likewise, I wouldn't wear my DateJust while going abseiling :lol:

No no no! :nono: A couple of buddies of mine wear their watches on their right hand because they are so used to wear diving instruments on their left from their military days, but this is the only deviation I'm, personally, willing to accept.

Two watches? No way, unless you are Maradona. ;)
